The Moment After
A Short Documentary Film on Stewardship & Ethical Hunting
About the film
The Moment After is a short documentary film by Tyler Rickenbach exploring the emotional and ethical aftermath of a first-time moose hunt in Idaho. Rather than focusing on the act itself, the film examines preparation, humility, and the weight of stewardship that follows taking a life.
Shot in the American West using Canon cinema cameras and Sigma lenses, The Moment After blends intimate interviews with immersive landscape imagery to tell a deeply human story about responsibility, reverence, and what it means to live with the consequences of our actions.
The film has been submitted to leading mountain and wildlife film festivals and is intended to resonate with hunters and non-hunters alike.
